Description

Each member of our family is so different, like individual components of a symphony. But, like a symphony, each part is important to the overall structure and sound of the piece. We all work together to make a beautiful sound...our family. Just as the Lord knit us together in the womb, He is now knitting us together as a family, for His glory, outside the womb.

Summer Fun

I am going to start from Father's Day. The kids and I gave B some of his favorite things (hot, spicy, salty).

The kids made this book about dad, in which they each answered questions about B (i.e. how old is he? what's his name? what's his job? etc.). I had them each draw a picture for B and then I scanned them and transferred them onto a tshirt. His final gift was a "day off" from me and the kids. I made him breakfast and left it for him by his bed so that he could enjoy breakfast in bed. Then, the kids and I packed into the car and snuck out of the house. Thankfully, B slept in that day. We spent the day at my parents' house while B got to have the day all to himself. He chose to....can you guess....go fishing! We came back at bedtime, put the kids to bed, and then enjoyed a quiet dinner together. I tweaked this idea from the Dating Divas.

B and I enjoyed a lovely date where we attended a Bach Choral concert at CSU.

The kids and I had a picnic and played at the splash park. Tiny A did not want to stay with the rest of the group, so I had to chase him around most of the time. Cb's was at Girl Scout Day Camp, so she wasn't with us.

Speaking of Girls Scout Camp, Cb's had a great week. She got to do so many activities, including fishing, canoeing, hiking, country dancing, lasso throwing, crafts, and more.

I grew some zucchini!

Tonight, B is super-dad (well, every night/day, really) and is having a backyard campout with the three older ones. They are SO excited! See middle A shaking her hips to the music?:) She loves to move! Cb's is singing along with daddy. Such a beautiful voice.:) F is running in and out of the tent. Full of energy!

Have you hugged a pug today? I highly recommend it. It's good for the soul.
